From MTSU

A day after formalizing ties with Murfreesboro City Schools, a Chinese education group deepened its partnership with area schools Friday by signing a similar pact with Rutherford County Schools for cultural and educational exchanges.

The agreement, facilitated by MTSU's Confucius Institute, promotes future educational and cultural activities, such as summer camps and symposiums, involving middle school students and educators from Rutherford County Schools and Dongcheng Education Group of Hangzhou Normal University in China.
